Hire qualified coordinators who have the first clue what they're doing. Pay for quality assistants with proven track records.

 

Oh...oh wait, no, that's right. Who needs to do that? We've got all the talent we need right here at home.

 

Glad you said it. I'm not a fan and should follow some other team and don't know what I'm talking about if I would've.

How do you think those proven assistants got their credentials...? Someone gave them a shot to prove themselves. I agree that some may need to be re-evaluated, but lets give Beck and Pap a chance...damn.

The reason I hate threads like this is because people take a perfectly logical, reasonable, unemotional discussion of facts and dub it a 'meltdown' because it happened after a loss.

 

I'm not heated. I'm not emotional. I'm simply telling you will all seriousness that if you think with the current staff/philosophy we're going to see any measurable improvement over what we saw this season, you're deluded. And worse. You're self-deluded. We got smoked for the third time this season in the fourth year of this staff. Who's got the excuses? How about we do that thread instead? Have the sunshine "Bo knows" pumpers regale us with some explanation for why this is happening, and more importantly, how it's going to be fixed.

 

No, didn't think so. We'll just all have a big laugh about the 'meltdown' while the massively obvious frailty of this program gets a nice whitewashing.

 

It's happening because there hasn't been any leadership on this team since the days of Wistrom and Peter. I'm one of the biggest Bo fans you'll find, but he isn't instilling any mental toughness in his players. Was this year a result of what was (or wasn't) recruited when Bo was first hired? Maybe, but what's really starting to eat at me is that there is legit talent in the underclassmen, and it might get wasted because there isn't any leadership to speak of.

 

Obviously, coaching is part of that, but there has to be actual "captains" that lead this team. People say wonderful things about Mr. Burkhead but I would give anything to have someone wear an N on the helmet that actually cared about it. I just see a lot of guys playing for their resumes out there.

 

100% agree. Where is the leadership. I'm not sure we need guys to lead by example with this team. Need some vocal leadership to hold other accountable.

I thought that David was a vocal leader at the Whisky game and then also led by example at the OSU game. Just because they aren't winning championships like Peter and Winstrom doesnt mean we have had no leaders.

i will tell you exactly what we learned today.........a damn good coach like Spurrier can make adjustments and play a game tailored to his kids, Pelini has no clue in hell how to do this and nether do his assistant coaches either.........next year will be more of the same.

How can you say that when this is Pap's first game....? Plus this is Beck's first year....but your right lets clean house so we can get some other people in and bitch about them at the end of next year.....

Vicious cycle of complaining when we lose....

I just think everybody needs to take a chill pill and quit with the negative thoughts. I'm tired of hearing them, and in no way does it make things improve... ever. Just keep the faith in Bo and the rest of the team. We will be just fine.

Agreed, everyone is already over John P and this is his first game. Also I love how everyone wants an experienced DC/OC.....yeah that's great until they leave for another HC job somewhere else. I personally would like to build an ass.coach up, everyone starts with no experience... DUH!!!!! Does everyone think that Stoops would stayed here for three or four years if we would have gone for him....?

Was it a sad game...yes!

But I trust the coaches that Bo has in place...GBR!!
